Pusser's Gunpowder Proof 3-Year

Lekker om puur te drinken maar wel iets minder dan de 15y van Pusser's, hij is veel sterker van smaak

54,5 ABV is not for the faint of heart, but this is a pretty interesting rum. The ethanol and almost acetone smell does overpower everything else a little bit, bit overall this is pretty nice. Caramel and sweetness does come through.

Kraftig smak, ganska spritig eftersmak dock hög procenthalt

This rum has a very harsh flavour. Not for everybody.

The taste is same as you would expect, strong and intensive. You feel the alcoholic bite right from the beginning; whole sip of the full-bodied rum is followed by caramel, toffee and sugar. But it is different that you are used from other sweet rums, the 109 proof reminds you that you are drinking strong navy rum and not a Cuban elixir. Its finish is warm and long as you could expect, but it is surprisingly smooth. I believe this is interesting experience to taste such a good quality strong navy rum - one that you can really enjoy.

Decent navy style rum, but overly sweet, and quite unneeded.

Yes, this was ok, Strong but a nice finish.
And you can always put Coke in it

Whiskey like rum with a big punch. For the nose it's like a smooth rum but for the gum it comes with a big kick in the balls. Only for sailors. Poured some water in it and it got better. If you got a hairy chest this one is for you.

This particular Pusser's is unexpectedly nice and adds a nice little pop for a sipping rum. It has a strong nose of oak and cinnamon. The first taste is defintely little strong with flavors toffee and vanilla. I think if you add a few drops of water it will bring down the strong alcohol taste and make it even better. Probably too nice for a mixer but might give it a try.

For the proof, it's much better than expected. However, I don't find it to be a very interesting rum. Seems flat to me, but it seems most don't agree? I'm not sure, maybe I'm broken.
